Soccer Shootout
Control a full-body musculoskeletal model (MyoLeg + MyoTorso) to approach the ball and shoot past a moving goalkeeper — precise coordination, balance, and timing. Env: myoChallengeSoccerP1-v0.
NeurIPS 2025 Competition Track
completedMyoChallenge 2025
Towards Human Athletic Intelligence
Athletic intelligence with two tracks: soccer shootout (full-body approach and shoot past a moving goalkeeper) and table tennis rally (upper-body musculoskeletal model vs an AI opponent). Attracted almost 70 teams and 560+ submissions.
Tracks
Table Tennis Rally
Master an upper-body model (MyoArm + MyoTorso) to rally with an AI opponent — fast reflexes and responsive control. Env: myoChallengeTableTennisP1-v0.
